Nice shots Keith. I was there from 10:20 - 12:30, with Harold Forsyth, and
never saw it as clearly. Interesting, as it's within a few metres of where
the western Marsh wren was in Oct - Dec. 2012 and 2014. BTW I assumed that
the Ebird query on the Pied billed grebes was because of the date rather
than the number. I only saw 2 today, but a few days ago there were 5, and I
didn't have to provide any comments on Ebird.
